A Reverend Firebrand.

Admirable in intent and performance,
Decoration Day is the most suave and
temperate holiday of the year. Nature
is in her most fascinating mood. The
sun has climbed to an altitude from
which he beams without the cold cyni-
cal smile of New Years or the braZen
effrontery of the Fourth of July. Pneu-
mOnia and sunstroke claim no victims on
Decoration Day.
This national anniversary has again
passed off without physical casualty or
discomfort to the vast crowds of holi-
day seekers. But who could guard
against the accidents of speech or tenn

There is a revival i'm progress in
town not far from Boston. and various
incidents have marked the progress of
the work of grace. Among others is re-
lated the following which has at least
the merit of illustrating phase of hui
man nature. Too ladies quarreled about
a year since, and have since then refused
to recognize each other. One of them
moved by an eloquent sermon delivered
by the revivalists on the need of broth
erly love, went To her neighbOr, and en-
deavOred to effect a reconciliation. She
expressed her regret that there should
have been hard feeling between them,
took rather more than she thought to he
her fair share of blame, and said that she
had come to ask if they could not be
friends again.
The other woman heard all this in ST.
lence. but with an unsoftened glitter in
her eve.
That's all very we'll" she comment

Talk about phrenology," said the
cashier of a well known restaurant, Il
can get at a mans character without
feeling of his bumps. just keep your
eye on this man."
As he spoke a portly, dignified gentle
man walked leisurely to the desk and
laid down a check wrapped in a . note.
Then he drew a toothDick from a tum-
bier on the desk, inserted it between his
double teeth. looked the cashier calmly
in the eye, struck an easy attitude and
waited for his change. When it was
passed over he put it into his waistcoat
pocket and left the restaurant with the
tOothpick still prO.ruding from his
mouth.
That" said the cashier, sis a man of
business. Did you notice how conf
IDENTIFY he picked his teeth? That is a
sure sign that he is in no danger of fail
ure. He is a man whom you may trust,
and one who will always count the
change you give him. Now observe this
one"
The next customer grabbed a tooth
pick and jammed it between his teeth
in nervous manner. He gouged away
here and there until the toOthpick broke
in half Throwing the fragments on the
floor, he gathered up the change for
SOC piece and dashed from the place as
though a detective were on his track.
"A bad man. that" commented the
cashier, land one who is treacherous.
withal. Any man who stabs at his gums
as that man did would use a knife in a
quarrel. The mar Ter in which he cast
the useless toothpick ON the ground is
significant of how he would treat a
friend who had gone broke to serve him.
Lord" continued the cashier, 1--WE
studied this subject SO much that could
keep talking all day on it. / am willing
to bet that l am right nearly every time.
You see, no one suspects that he is be-
ing judged according to the way he
uses a toOthpick, and he acts perfectly
natural. A man can change the express
sion of his face, and the hair on the
head of most men covers their bumps,
but the innocent toothpick is what gives
them all away"

color. kind of a cutaway on the side and
rolled back on the top, and scOoped out

of ribbon stuff that looks nice, and
some kind of other material that is
handsome, and is all fixed ON in that
kind of way which looks 50 much like
something that we can't remember. and
the whole effect is very exquisite, re-
minding us of most beautiful some
thing or other whose name we can't just

q personal friend, the other day, that the
''dear' involving the control of that road,
about which so much was said in the

foundation than some negotiations to
extend the company's system and in
crease its business. He said that sur
render of the controlling interest in the
Baltimore and Ohio was never for
moment intended: also, that Jay Gould
had no hand in the negotiation.

There comes period of stagnation,
in the life of all new mining regions,
when the inhabitants thereof are
thrown upon their own resources for
q while. II they are equal to the
emergency, their camp experiences a
brief season of dullness, out Of which
it soon passes to more prosperous
tunes. This was the case on the
Comstook, in Eureka, Nevada, in
Bodie, in Butte, and elsewhere. But
if the residents sit down to NOPE and
curse the country, and do nothing to
develop it, the dull times are pro-
longed until most of the old residents
are compelled to sell out to newer,
fresher citizens, after which the region
takes new departure.
This region is now experiencing a
season of depression, because two or
three important mine sales chang
fire." If the mine.owners and bust
ness men help one another, the result
will be general prosperity next spring.
If they do not, we may experience
another year or two of dullness such
